Daily Caller - Say what you will about “Jobs,” the two-hour long biopic starring Ashton Kutcher as genius Apple creator Steve Jobs, but it has a damn fine soundtrack.
The film is problematic in several ways, the least of which is that it plays like a made-for-TV movie.
The problems with Kutcher in the title role are twofold: 1) He suffers from Celebrity Syndrome, in that it is nearly impossible to separate his onscreen presence from his Us Weekly one and 2) he is just not a good actor (his handsome dummy “That 70’s Show” character notwithstanding).
“Jobs,” an Open Road Films production, falls prey to the usual biopic tropes and can be mapped out pretty much exactly like this: visionary idea! – roadblock – inspirational speech! – roadblock – heart-to-heart – roadblock – comeback – inspirational speech! As with many biopics, the film spans too much time.
